Product details
Overview
ZLLS400TC from Diodes Incorporated is a 40V, 0.52A surface-mount Schottky barrier diode in SOD323 package, featuring 0.5V max forward voltage at 400mA, 10µA max reverse leakage at 30V, and thermally rated to +150°C - deployed in DC-DC converters for high-efficiency power conversion under elevated ambient temperatures.
For engineers reviewing the ZLLS400TC datasheet, ZLLS400TC pinout, ZLLS400TC application, or ZLLS400TC equivalent, key selection criteria include low VF performance at high current (≤500mV @ 400mA), ultra-low IR (≤10µA @ 30V), thermal robustness (+150°C TJ), and SOD323 footprint compatibility with space-constrained mobile and automotive power stages.
Technical Context
This Schottky diode employs a planar metal-semiconductor junction optimized for minimal forward conduction loss and suppressed minority-carrier storage, enabling fast switching (tRR ≤ 3ns) and negligible reverse recovery charge (QRR ≤ 210pC). Its low RθJA (330°C/W on 1-inch² copper pad) supports sustained operation at IF = 0.52A without derating up to +85°C ambient.
The device is characterized across temperature: VF rises only ~40mV from 25°C to 100°C at 400mA, while IR increases to 370µA at +85°C - confirming stable efficiency in thermally demanding motor control and charging circuits where thermal runaway must be avoided.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VR (Reverse Voltage) | 40 V - Maximum blocking capability in flyback or freewheeling paths without breakdown |
| IF (Continuous Forward Current) | 0.52 A - Sustained conduction rating enabling use in 500mA-class DC-DC output rectification |
| VF Max @ 400mA | 0.5 V - Low conduction loss reduces power dissipation to ≤200mW at typical operating point |
| IR Max @ 30V | 10 µA - Minimal leakage preserves battery standby time in always-on charging circuits |
| tRR (Reverse Recovery Time) | 3 ns - Enables >1MHz switching frequencies with negligible switching loss in synchronous buck topologies |
| TJ (Junction Temperature) | +150 °C - Allows placement near hot components (e.g., MOSFETs, inductors) without thermal derating |
| Package | SOD323 - 1.3mm × 1.7mm footprint with 0.3mm lead pitch, compatible with standard 0201 reflow profiles |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOD323 - surface-mount plastic case, 2-terminal anode/cathode configuration, matte tin-plated alloy 42 leadframe, UL 94V-0 rated, moisture sensitivity level 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (A) | Forward current entry point | Connected to lower-potential node (e.g., switch node in buck converter); polarity-sensitive for correct rectification |
| Cathode (K) | Forward current exit / reverse blocking terminal | Connected to output rail or ground return; carries full load current and blocks reverse voltage up to 40V |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low VF at high current | 0.445–0.5V @ 400mA - cuts conduction loss by ≥35% vs. standard silicon diodes in 5V/3.3V buck outputs |
| Ultra-low IR at 30V | ≤10µA @ 25°C, ≤370µA @ 85°C - maintains <0.1% standby current drain in battery-backed systems |
| Thermal rating | Junction-to-ambient RθJA = 330°C/W on 1″² copper - enables 0.52A operation without heatsink at +85°C ambient |
| Fast switching | tRR ≤ 3ns, QRR ≤ 210pC - eliminates snubber networks and reduces EMI in MHz-range SMPS designs |
| Green compliance | Halogen- and antimony-free, RoHS 3 compliant - meets IPC-1752A material declaration requirements for automotive Tier-1 BOMs |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Schottky diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ZHCS400TA | Lower VF (0.33V typ @ 400mA), but rated only to +125°C TJ and 30V VR | Better for low-temp, low-voltage apps (e.g., 3.3V LDO bypass); unsuitable for 40V bus or >125°C environments | Select ZHCS400TA only when VR ≤ 30V and peak ambient < +105°C; otherwise ZLLS400TC provides wider voltage/temp margin |
| SBM140T1G | Same 40V/0.5A rating, but VF = 0.55V min @ 400mA and IR = 50µA @ 30V - higher conduction loss and leakage | Acceptable for cost-sensitive industrial controls where 5% efficiency loss and higher standby drain are tolerable | Choose SBM140T1G only if ZLLS400TC supply constraints exist; verify thermal margin due to 20% higher VF and 5× IR |
Compared with ZHCS400TA and SBM140T1G, ZLLS400TC delivers superior thermal resilience (+150°C vs. +125°C/+150°C), tighter leakage control (10µA vs. N/A/50µA), and lower VF consistency across temperature - making it the preferred choice for automotive-adjacent and high-reliability portable power designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous forward current rating for ZLLS400TC, and under what thermal conditions is it valid?
The ZLLS400TC is rated for 0.52A continuous forward current at TA = +25°C with no derating. When mounted on a 1-inch² copper pad (2oz), it sustains this current up to +85°C ambient without exceeding its +150°C junction limit, thanks to RθJA = 330°C/W. Derating begins above +85°C ambient per the thermal curve in DS33226 Rev. 10-2, page 2.
How does ZLLS400TC's reverse leakage compare to standard Schottky diodes at elevated temperatures?
ZLLS400TC specifies IR ≤ 10µA at VR = 30V and TA = +25°C, rising to ≤370µA at +85°C. This is 3–5× lower than typical industry-standard Schottkys (e.g., SBM140T1G: 50µA @ 25°C, >1mA @ 85°C), directly enabling longer battery shelf life and reduced standby power in always-on systems.
Is ZLLS400TC pin-compatible with ZHCS400TA, and can they be interchanged on the same PCB?
Yes - both use identical SOD323 package dimensions, pad layout, and anode/cathode terminal orientation (top-view marking "40" denotes cathode bar). However, ZHCS400TA has lower VR (30V) and TJ (125°C), so interchange is only safe in designs with ≤30V reverse bias and peak ambient ≤ +105°C; ZLLS400TC offers broader margin in all conditions.
Does ZLLS400TC meet automotive qualification standards, and what is the qualified variant?
ZLLS400TC itself is not AEC-Q200 qualified. The automotive-grade variant is ZLLS400Q, which shares identical electrical specs and SOD323 package but undergoes extended temperature cycling, HTOL, and humidity testing per AEC-Q200 Rev. D. ZLLS400Q is documented in a separate datasheet (DS33226Q) and carries automotive-specific part markings and traceability.
